There is a shortage of nurses in some
countries, like the UK and Switzerland. But there is a
far greater shortage of carers for the
elderly, not only in Switzerland and
the UK, but also in Germany and France, in fact in most
European countries. Though knowledge of the local
language for these jobs, which are not necessarily well
paid, is an absolute must.

Licensing
for nurses in Europe is quite different from that in the
United States and Canada, and a lot less restrictive.
This does not mean, that it is easier. Traditionally, in
most European countries, the nursing profession was one,
which one learned through a 4 year apprenticeship, rather
than a spell at University. Though, this is changing
rapidly and for instance the UK announced, that all new
nurses will have to have a degree from 2013 onwards.
Other countries develop in the same way.
